I've been taking Quetiapine (Seroquel) for insomnia for the last couple months. I am one of the unfortunate group of people who are recovering from substance abuse and addiction, but also have a sleep disorder. Those two conditions create a problem: the most effective class of sleep aids are the benzodiazepines, however these drugs also have a high abuse potential. I went months without getting a decent night's sleep after I recovered from my substance abuse problems. I'm a medical student, so I really dug into the literature and looked for some class of drug that would help me get to sleep, but not end up in another dangerous addiction that I couldn't afford.
I eventually worked with my doctor to set up a Seroquel regimen. I have to say, for the first couple weeks, especially as my physician was titrating my dose up to a relatively high level, Seroquel really knocked me out. Later I adjusted, but initially it really packed a punch. I was very pleased with this pharmacotherapeutic approach because, for the first few weeks, when I would take the Seroquel it would slow me down so much that it was IMPOSSIBLE to stay awake. I would even fall asleep in weird places, my closet, my shower, etc. While that was not the most desirable situation, once I learned how to get ready for it to kick in, it was really refreshing to actually get some sleep.
I'm putting that out there, because I hope it could help any of you out there who have problems with both addiction and sleep. Sleep disorders are undertreated in recovering addicts, but it does not have to be that way, because there are safe alternatives out there. You just have to make your doctor look for them.
As for the effects of Quetiapine:
Dosing and Onset:
-Through my experience over the last couple of months, I have pinned down the onset of action to almost exactly 1.5 hours post ingestion of the drug. I felt some effects after about an hour, but things were not intense till 1.5 hours. This should apply to most people, because the research on the drug backs up my observation, with the measured peak concentration in your blood occurs at 1.5 hours post ingestion.
-Confusingly, if you take Quetiapine with food, you will actually absorb more of the drug overall, as well as have a higher peak concentration in your body. But, subjectively, I feel like taking it with food blunts the effects.
Notable Subjective Effects:
-I got pretty drowsy (effect diminishes to a marginally lower plateau over about a month of taking the drug nightly)
-This drug blocks some receptors in your brain that control your blood pressure, so there is a pretty good chance that you will get dizzy when you stand up after sitting for a while. This happens to me a lot. One time I actually fainted, cracked my head in the bathroom, and ended up in the ER getting stitches. Word to the wise: get up sloooooooowly
-I have noticed a really weird side effect: when the Quetiapine kicks in I have a very hard time swallowing.  It is very, very, very strange. I push food to the back of my mouth, fully expecting my body to kind of automatically swallow it. But that just doesn't happen. I sit and gag and try to swallow it and, eventually, sometimes minutes later, I get the food swallowed. Sometimes it takes a drink to get it down before I choke. So again beware: even at normal prescribed doses, THERE IS A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF YOU CHOKING while on this drug, which could make for a bad combination with other drugs or alcohol.
 This is not as noticeable as with, letís say, smoking pot... But I don't look totally normal after taking the drug.
SERIOUS WARNING: Safe prescribed doses up to 400mg are not unusual. But for recreational users, be aware that doctors slowly increase their patientsí doses to this level, so taking a dose that high on one random instance could be pretty dangerous. That is specifically because this medication has been associated with changing your heart rhythm in such a way that it mimics a rare condition that you often hear about in the context of athletes dropping dead in the middle of a football field or basketball court, etc.
Summary: Good solution for recovering addicts with sleep problems. Can't comment on its action for people with major mental disorders. As for recreational use, I don't really see it as something I would have had that much fun with had I taken it back in my drug days. It does not produce euphoria or anything, just drowsiness and some freaky side effects. Just beware, if you take it for shits, chances are you'll fall asleep, but if you take too much you could die of a heart attack... Probably not worth it.

Duck breast is a good alternative, if pigeon breasts are hard to get hold of, in this deliciously healthy salad.
For the salad, place the beetroot into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the beetroot is tender. Drain and cut the beetroot into quarters lengthways.
Heat a frying pan until hot then add the oil and shallots and cook gently for two minutes until just softened.
Add the mushrooms and fry for two more minutes until the mushrooms are just tender. Tip the mixture into a large bowl then add the chestnuts, celery and salad leaves.
Whisk the mustard, vinegar and extra virgin olive oil together and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the vegetable oil into deep-sided saucepan and heat until a small cube of bread sizzles and turns golden when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Alternatively, heat a deep-fat fryer to 190C/375F.
Carefully place the potato chips into the hot oil and deep fry for 1-2 minutes until golden-brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the pigeon, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Season the pigeon breast with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat an ovenproof frying pan until hot then add the olive oil and butter. Cook the pigeon breasts, skin side down, for one minute until golden-brown then turn and cook for another minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for three minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and leave to rest for five minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
To serve, toss the beetroot quarters into the salad and dress with the dressing. Carve the pigeon into thick slices then add to the salad. At the very last minute, add the game chips and toss lightly to combine.

HyperSQL is used more than any other database engine for application testing and development targeted at other databases. Over the years, this usage resulted in developers finding and reporting many obscure bugs and opportunities for enhancements in HyperSQL. The bugs were all fixed shortly after the reports and enhancements were added in later versions.
HyperSQL 2.x has been written to the SQL Standard and avoids the traps caused by superficial imitation of the Standard by some other RDBMS. The SQL Standard has existed since 1989 and has been expanded over the years in several revisions. HyperSQL follows SQL:2011, which still stays almost fully compatible with SQL-92. The X-Open specification has also defined a number of SQL functions which are implemented by most RDBMS.
HyperSQL has many property settings that relax conformance to the Standard in order to allow compatibility with other RDBMS, without breaking the core integrity of the database. These properties are modified with SET DATABASE SQL statements described in the SQL Conformance Settings section of Management chapter.
HyperSQL is very flexible and provides some other properties which
define a preference among various valid choices. For example the ability
to set the transaction model of the database, or the ability to define the
scale of the data type of the result of integer division or average
calculation (SET DATABASE SQL AVG SCALE
).
Each major RDBMS supports additional functions that are not covered by the Standard. Some RDBMS use non-standard syntax for some operations. Although most popular RDBMS products have introduced better compatibility with the Standard in their recent versions, there are still some portability issues. HyperSQL overcomes the potability issues using these strategies
An extensive set of functions cover the SQL Standard, X-Open, and most of the useful functions that other RDBMS support.
Database properties, which can be specified on the URL or as SQL statements, relax conformance to the Standard in order to allow non-standard comparisons and assignments allowed by other RDBMS.
Specific SQL syntax compatibility modes allow syntax and type names that are supported by some popular RDBMS.
User-defined types and functions, including aggregate functions, allow any type or function that is supported by some RDBMS to be defined and used.
Support for compatibility with other RDBMS has been extended with each version of HyperSQL. This chapter lists the non-standard features or each database, their SQL Standard equivalents, and the support provided by HyperSQL for each non-standard feature.
PostgreSQL is fairly compatible with the Standard, but uses some non-standard features.
Use SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX PGS TRUE
or the
equivalent URL property sql.syntax_pgs=true
to
enable the PostgreSQL's non-standard features. References to SERIAL,
BIGSERIAL, TEXT and UUID data types, as well as sequence functions,
are translated into HyperSQL equivalents.
Use SET DATABASE TRANSACTION CONTROL MVCC
if your application is multi-user.
PostgreSQL functions are generally supported.
For identity columns, PostgreSQL uses a non-standard linkage
with an external identity sequence. In most cases, this can be
converted to GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY
. In
those cases where the identity sequence needs to be shared by
multiple tables, you can use a new HyperSQL 2.x feature
GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS SEQUENCE <sequence
name>
, which is the equivalent of the PostgreSQL
implementation.
In CREATE TABLE statements, the SERIAL and BIGSERIAL types are
translated into INTEGER or BIGINT, with GENERATED BY
DEFAULT AS IDENTITY
. Usage of DEFAULT
NEXTVAL(<sequence name>)
is supported so long as the
<sequence name>
refers to an existing
sequence. This usage is translated into GENERATED BY
DEFAULT AS SEQUENCE <sequence name>
.
In SELECT and other statements, the
NEXTVAL(<sequence name>)
and
LASTVAL()
functions are supported and translated
into HyperSQL's NEXT VALUE FOR <sequence
name>
and IDENTITY()
expressions.
PostgreSQL uses a non-standard expression, SELECT 'A
Test String'
to return a single row table. The standard
form is VALUES('A Test String')
. In PGS syntax
mode, this type of SELECT is supported.
HyperSQL supports SQL Standard ARRAY types. PostgreSQL also supports this, but not entirely according to the Standard.
SQL routines are portable, but some syntax elements are different and require changes.
You may need to use SET DATABASE SQL TDC { DELETE |
UPDATE } FALSE
statements, as PostgreSQL does not enforce
the subtle rules of the Standard for foreign key cascading deletes
and updates. PostgreSQL allows cascading operations to update a
field value multiple times with different values, the Standard
disallows this.
HyperSQL version 2.4.0 is highly compatible with MySQL and supports most its the non-standard syntax. The latest versions of MySQL have introduced better Standard compatibility but some of these features have to be turned on via properties. You should therefore check the current Standard compatibility settings of your MySQL database and use the available HyperSQL properties to achieve closer results. If you avoid the few anti-Standard features of MySQL, you can port your databases to HyperSQL.
Using HyperSQL during development and testing of MySQL apps helps to avoid data integrity issues that MySQL may ignore.
HyperSQL does not have the following non-standard limitations of MySQL.
With HyperSQL, an UPDATE statement can update UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY columns of a table without causing an exception due to temporary violation of constraints. These constraints are checked at the end of execution, therefore there is no need for an ORDER BY clause in an UPDATE statement.
MySQL foreign key constraints are not enforced by the default MyISAM engine. Be aware of the possibility of data being rejected by HyperSQL due to these constraints.
With HyperSQL INSERT or UPDATE statements either succeed or fail due to constraint violation. MySQL has the non-standard IGNORE override to ignore violations and alter the data, which is not accepted by HyperSQL.
Unlike MySQL, HyperSQL allows you to modify a table with an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement which selects from the same table in a subquery.
Follow the guidelines below for converting MySQL databases and applications.
Use SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX MYS TRUE
or the
equivalent URL property sql.syntax_mys=true
to
enable support for AUTO_INCREMENT and TEXT data types and several
other types. These type definitions are translated into HyperSQL
equivalents.
Use MVCC with SET DATABASE TRANSACTION CONTROL
MVCC
if your application is multi-user.
Avoid storing invalid values, for example invalid dates such as '0000-00-00' or '2001-00-00' which are rejected by HyperSQL.
Avoid the MySQL feature that trims spaces at the end of CHAR values.
In MySQL, a database is the same as a schema. In HyperSQL several schemas can exist in the same database and accessed transparently. In addition a HyperSQL server supports multiple separate databases.
In MySQL, older, non-standard, forms of database object name case-sensitivity make is difficult to port applications. Use the latest form which encloses case-sensitive names in double quotes.
Almost all MySQL functions are supported, including GROUP_CONCAT.
For fine control over type conversion, check the settings for
SET DATABASE SQL CONVERT TRUNCATE FALSE
Avoid using concatenation of possibly NULL values in your
select statements. If you have to, change the setting with the
SET DATABASE SQL CONCAT NULLS FALSE
If your application relies on MySQL behaviour for ordering of
nulls in SELECT statements with ORDER BY, use both SET
DATABASE SQL NULLS FIRST FALSE
and SET DATABASE
SQL NULLS ORDER FALSE
to change the defaults.
In CREATE TABLE, MySQL syntax for KEYS, INDEX, COMMENT and some other features is supported.
MySQL supports most SQL Standard types (except INTERVAL types), as well as non-standard types, which are also supported by HyperSQL. Supported types include SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT, DOUBLE, FLOAT, DECIMAL, NUMERIC, VARCHAR, CHAR, BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB, DATE, TIMESTAMP (all Standard SQL) and TINYINT, DATETIME (non Standard). UNSIGNED types are converted to signed.
In MYS syntax compatibility mode, HyperSQL translates MySQL's ENUM data type to VARCHAR with a check constraint on the enum values. Data types such as TEXT, TINYTEXT, TINYLOB, MEDIUMLOB are translated to Standard VARCHAR or BINARY types.
In MYS syntax compatibility mode, HyperSQL supports MySQL's non-standard version of INTERVAL symbols such as DAY_HOUR and DAY_SECOND in DATEADD and DATESUB functions. The SQL Standard form is DAY TO HOUER or DAY TO SECOND.
MySQL uses a non-standard expression, SELECT 'A Test
String'
to return a single row table. The standard form is
VALUES('A Test String')
. In MYS syntax mode, this
type of SELECT is supported.
Indexes defined inside CREATE TABLE statements are accepted and created. The index names must be unique within the schema.
HyperSQL supports ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for column definitions.
HyperSQL supports and translates INSERT IGNORE, REPLACE and ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE variations of INSERT into predictable and error-free operations.
When INSERT IGNORE is used, if any of the inserted rows would violate a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint, that row is not inserted. The rest of the rows are then inserted only if there is no other violation such as long strings or type mismatch, otherwise the appropriate error is returned.
When REPLACE or ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE is used, the rows that need replacing or updating are updated with the given values. This works exactly like an UPDATE statement for those rows.  The row count returned is simply the total number of rows inserted and updated.
MySQL user-defined function and procedure syntax is very similar to SQL Standard syntax. A few changes may still be required.
Firebird generally follows the SQL Standard. Applications can be ported to HyperSQL without difficulty.
Apache Derby supports a smaller subset of the SQL Standard compared to HyperSQL. Applications can be ported to HyperSQL without difficulty.
Use MVCC with SET DATABASE TRANSACTION CONTROL
MVCC
if your application is multi-user.
HyperSQL supports Java language functions and stored procedures with the SQL Standard syntax, which is similar to the way Derby supports these features.
Recent versions of Oracle support Standard SQL syntax for outer joins and many other operations. In addition, HyperSQL features a setting to support Oracle syntax and semantics for the most widely used non-standard features.
Use SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX ORA TRUE
or the
equivalent URL property sql.syntax_ora=true
to
enable support for some non-standard syntax of Oracle.
Use MVCC with SET DATABASE TRANSACTION CONTROL
MVCC
if your application is multi-user.
Fine control over MVCC deadlock avoidance is provided by the
SET DATABASE TRANSACTION ROLLBACK ON CONFLICT
FALSE
and the corresponding
hsqldb.tx_conflict_rollback
connection
property.
If your application relies on Oracle behaviour for nulls in
multi-column UNIQUE constraints, use SET DATABASE SQL
UNIQUE NULLS FALSE
to change the default.
If your application relies on Oracle behaviour for ordering of
nulls in SELECT statements with ORDER BY, but without NULLS FIRST or
NULLS LAST, use both SET DATABASE SQL NULLS FIRST
FALSE
and SET DATABASE SQL NULLS ORDER
FALSE
to change the defaults.
If you use the non-standard concatenation of possibly NULL
values in your select statements, you may need to change the setting
for SET DATABASE SQL CONCAT NULLS FALSE
.
You may want to use SET DATABASE COLLATION SQL_TEXT
NO PAD
to take into account differences in trailing spaces
in string comparisons.
Many Oracle functions are supported, including no-arg functions such as SYSDATE and SYSTIMESTAMP and more complex ones such as TO_DATE and TO_CHAR.
Non-standard data type definitions such as NUMBER, VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, LONG, RAW are translated into the closest HyperSQL / SQL Standard equivalent in ORA mode.
Non-standard column DEFAULT definitions in CREATE TABLE, such as the use of DUAL with a SEQUENCE function are supported and translated in ORA syntax mode.
The DATE type is interpreted as TIMESTAMP(0) in ORA syntax mode.
The DUAL table and the expressions, ROWNUM, CURRVAL, NEXTVAL are supported in ORA syntax mode.
HyperSQL natively supports operations involving datetime and interval values. These features are based on the SQL Standard.
Many subtle automatic type conversions, syntax refinements and other common features are supported.
SQL routines in PL/SQL are generally portable, but some changes are required.
More advanced compatibility is offered by HyperXtremeSQL, which is a product based on HyperSQL. It supports more function compatibility, the PL/HXSQL language with a similar syntax to PL/SQL, extensive support for additional aggregate functions, window analytic functions with OVER(PARTITION ... ORDER ... ROWS | RANGE ...) , CUBE, ROLLUP, GROUPING SET and WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY).
DB2 is highly compatible with the SQL Standard (except for its lack of support for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA). Applications can be ported to HyperSQL without difficulty.
Use SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX DB2 TRUE
or the
equivalent URL property sql.syntax_db2=true
to
enable support for some non-standard syntax of DB2.
Use MVCC with SET DATABASE TRANSACTION CONTROL
MVCC
if your application is multi-user.
HyperSQL supports almost the entire syntax of DB2 together with many of the functions. Even local temporary tables using the SESSION pseudo schema are supported.
The DB2 binary type definition FOR BIT DATA, as well as empty definition of column default values are supported in DB2 syntax mode.
Many DB2 functions are supported.
The DUAL table and the expressions, ROWNUM, CURRVAL, NEXTVAL are supported in DB2 syntax mode.
SQL routines are highly portable with minimal change.
More advanced compatibility is offered by HyperXtremeSQL, which is a product based on HyperSQL. It has extensive support for additional aggregate functions, window analytic functions with OVER(PARTITION ... ORDER BY ... ROWS | RANGE ...) , CUBE, ROLLUP, GROUPING SET and WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ...).
SQLServer has some incompatibilities with the Standard syntax. The most significant is the use of square brackets instead of double quotes for case-sensitive column names.
Use SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX MSS TRUE
or the
equivalent URL property sql.syntax_mss=true
to
enable support for the CONVERT(<type definition>,
<expression)
function with switched order of
arguments
Use MVCC with SET DATABASE TRANSACTION CONTROL
MVCC
if your application is multi-user.
If you use the non-standard concatenation of possibly NULL
values in your select statements, you may need to change the setting
for SET DATABASE SQL CONCAT NULLS FALSE
.
HyperSQL supports + for string concatenation.
SQLServer uses a non-standard expression, SELECT 'A
Test String'
to return a single row table. The standard
form is VALUES('A Test String')
. In MSS syntax
mode, this type of SELECT is supported.
HyperSQL 2.4 adds several datetime functions in MSS compatibility mode. These include DATEPART, DATENAME, EOMONTH and compatible DATEADD and DATEDIFF behaviour.
SQL routines need quite a lot of changes.
More advanced compatibility is offered by HyperXtremeSQL, which is a product based on HyperSQL. It has extensive support for additional aggregate functions, window analytic functions with OVER(PARTITION ... ORDER BY ... ROWS | RANGE ...) , CUBE, ROLLUP, GROUPING SET and WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY ...).

Ouch! That looked like a pretty rough accident. Im glad you're okay though, that's what really matters. Your injuries are pretty minor, but it's probably best if you take a little break from biking until your back to your old self. It's a good thing you were wearing protective gear too, or you could have ended up with a concussion. Your bicycle wasn't damaged aside from a few scratches by the way.

Making this application couldn't be possible without the Open Weather Map API. and Angular Material Design
We will use Open Weather Data to create a single page application that presents a list of 5 European cities (you can choose the ones you prefer). Your goal is to get the current weather situation displaying the city name plus average temperature and the wind strength. Clickin4g on an item shows the forecast in the next hours. You can adjust the UI how you see fit for the best result but sticking to a single page application is mandatory.


Self-Made Projects
Meanwhile, while I was studying, I've made some simple projects, using different technologies just to see what they are.
- January 2016 - Habibi Player
- Unity 3D February 2016 - Catch Me a Beer
- Software Technologies June 2016 - Tatko's Static Blog

How to Configure a GoDaddy Domain Name with Github Pages
This post is supposed to be about my experience creating, maintaining, and improving a website over the past 9 weeks. I have had a blast learning HTML and CSS and designing layouts, troubleshooting, and creating content for this site. I expect that blogging is something I will continue to do for the rest of my life. The first major headache I had regarding this website was setting it up with a personal domain name. For this reason, I am going to outline the process below, in the hopes that it will help anyone attempting the same.
I am excessively grateful to Andrew Sturges for creating the guide that made my stuggles much less bad than they may have been.
As the title indicates, this post is specifically aimed at using GoDaddy with Github. For all other sites / services, see elsewhere.
How-To Guide
You will need to perform the following steps:
Step 1: Add "CNAME" file on Github
Step 2: Add "A (Host)" record file on GoDaddy
Step 3: Wait for changes to take effect
Step 1: Add "CNAME" file on Github
Follow the 8 steps on Github Help page for adding a CNAME file. Basically, create a file in your 'base' directory called 'CNAME', with your new domain name in it. For example, I migrated from kripple.github.io -> kellyripple.com. My 'base' directory was located at https://github.com/kripple/kripple.github.io. I went there and added a file called 'CNAME' with the line 'kellyripple.com'.
Step 2: Add "A (Host)" record file GoDaddy
Go to GoDaddy.com, click on the little settings icon dropdown for your domain and select "Manage DNS".
As per Github's instructions, add two A records: @ -> <IP_ADDRESS> and @ -> <IP_ADDRESS>.
Step 3: Wait for changes to take effect
I set my changes to go live in 30 minutes. I didn't time it, but it definitely took less than a few hours for my site to update. If it's not up after a few hours, see Github's help pages.

| Production Processing | Portfolio Management Application Administration | Application Overview |
Sample jobs that can be used in a typical portfolio management environment are provided with all installations that include the Portfolio Management Application Layer. The following sample files can be found in the /localvision/production/Updates/jobs directory: MiscMasters.job, SecurityPlus.job, HoldingsPlus.job, HoldingsPlus.okay, PricePlus.job, and DailyCleanup.okay. For many installations, these jobs can be used as is. Alternatively, they can be modified to address the specific needs of your production environment.
Each day, new security, portfolio, pricing, and holdings information is available. Data may be available throughout the evening from a combination of internal and external sources. Daily production feeds in a portfolio management environment can be grouped as follows:
The miscellaneous master files should be processed first, followed by the security and related files. The daily cleanup should be delayed until holdings and pricing have been updated.
To use the supplied jobs as is, you will need to create extract files with the following names:
When the current day's miscellaneous master files are available, the update job MiscMasters should be scheduled. The contents of the token file should be the date used as a file extension for these files. For example:
cd /localvision/production/status echo 19981115 > pending/MiscMastersThis job should begin within five minutes. When completed, the pending token will automatically be removed and the token Done.MiscMasters or Error.MiscMasters will be placed in the /localvision/production/status/tokens directory.
When the current day's security and related files are available, the update job SecurityPlus should be scheduled. The contents of the token file should be the date used as a file extension for these files. For example:
cd /localvision/production/status echo 19981115 > pending/SecurityPlusThis job should begin within five minutes. When completed, the pending token will automatically be removed and the token Done.SecurityPlus or Error.SecurityPlus will be placed in the /localvision/production/status/tokens directory. Note that you should not schedule this job to run prior to scheduling the MiscMasters job for the day.
When the current day's account and holdings files are available, the update job HoldingsPlus should be scheduled. The contents of the token file should be the date used as a file extension for these files. For example:
cd /localvision/production/status echo 19981115 > pending/HoldingsPlusThis job should begin within five minutes. When completed, the pending token will automatically be removed and the token Done.HoldingsPlus or Error.HoldingsPlus will be placed in the /localvision/production/status/tokens directory. Note that you should not schedule this job to run prior to scheduling the SecurityPlus job for the day.
When the current day's price and related files are available, the update job PricePlus should be scheduled. The contents of the token file should be the date used as a file extension for these files. For example:
cd /localvision/production/status echo 19981115 > pending/PricePlusThis job should begin within five minutes. When completed, the pending token will automatically be removed and the token Done.PricePlus or Error.PricePlus will be placed in the /localvision/production/status/tokens directory. Note that you should not schedule this job to run prior to scheduling the SecurityPlus job for the day.
cd /localvision/production/status ls active pending
To see the status of completed jobs use:
cd /localvision/production/status ls tokens
To view a log file use:
cd /localvision/production/status more logs/HoldingsPlus.log
The sample job MiscMasters.job is located in the directory /localvision/production/Updates/jobs. It will update the Vision database with the following files, if they exist in the /localvision/upload/feeds directory:

Java Method References
18 Jan 2017In this post, we are going to discuss yet another feature of Java 8: Method References. In a previous post, we explored lambda expressions and learned how to use them to write better and more compact Java code, especially with the advent of functional interfaces.
Unless you are very well-versed with lambda expressions, I would highly recommend that you first go through my lambda expressions tutorial before continuing with this post.

Method References vs. Lambda Rxpressions
From the lambda expressions tutorial, we can remember that a lambda expression simply gives us a more compact way of writing an anonymous function or implementing a functional interface.
In summary, we discussed that, if we have an interface such as below for printing something and a method that takes the interface as a parameter:
Pre-Java 8, we can call the printSomething method and provide an implementation of Printer interface as an anonymous function:
The above code, when run, produces the desirable result i.e. printing something to the console:
However, as Java developers, aware of new features in Java 8, we found this too verbose and decided to apply a lambda expression:
We were able to reduce the number of lines significantly. Notice that, we are simply using a single line of code in the lambda expression i.e. invoking only a single method. But we are free to add more lines and wrap them within braces:
Which prints:
To use a lambda expression like we have done in the last example is awesome as it saves us from the verbosity of anonymous functions. However, the first case where we were only calling a single method is not the most compact code we can get…ENTER METHOD REFERENCES:
A method reference can replace a lambda expression where we only have a single method call. Instead of the method call, we simply supply the method name attached to its class/object separated by a double colon(::) operator.
The real invocation of is done under the hood and we don’t even need to directly supply parameters (e.g. toPrint) as we did for lambdas, the compiler infers this information automatically and more such as return type.
More formally, we can say that:
A method reference is a more compact and easy-to-read construct to replace a lambda expression that does nothing more than invoking an existing method.
Static Method Reference
One of the more obvious and easiest ways to use a method reference is where static methods are involved. Assuming we have a class that only defines a single static method for adding two integers:
We can write a unit test for this class using a lambda expression if we don’t know about method references:
We have to explicitly reference the parameters in the lambda expression wrapped by the BiFunction. But with method refs, we don’t need any of that:
Notice the syntax for static method reference: the class name, MRefDemo and the method name, add separated by the double colon(::) operator.
Constructor Reference
Constructor reference is very similar to static method reference. It is a way to supply the name of the constructor of a class without invoking it. The invocation takes place under the hood.
Assume that we have a class called LogText.java, whose soul purpose in life is to wrap some raw text and avail it at log time in a beatiful way such that instead of our log appearing like this:
It would appear like:
Simple, but serves our demo purpose.
Now here is the content of LogText.java:
The constructor only beatifies the given string and stores it ready for retrieval at log time. Now we want to wrap this class in a functional interface such that a call to its functional method constructs an instance of LogText with the given string.
The lambda approach:
And the constructor reference option:
Bound Instance Method Reference
We have only looked at uses of method reference where we are not instantiating the object ourselves. We can also apply a method reference to name a method attached to an already constructed object.
Assuming that we want to convert the above constructor reference example to use bound instance method reference. We would have to construct our LogText instance in advance.
For this example to make sense, let us also assume that we now want the functional interface to supply us directly with the beautified string rather than an instance of LogText. The lambda example:
And the method reference variant:
Unbound Instance Method Reference
Unbound instance method reference or unbound non-static method reference is very close in both syntax and even closer in semantics to bound instance method reference.
In the section on bound instance method reference above, we were telling the compiler:
Here is our object, it is the only thing we have to offer you, it is ready and contains everything we need, we only want you to invoke a certain method called toString on this object and return to us whatever that call returns.
That is why we had to use a Supplier, a functional interface whose functional method takes no arguments and returns a single value. We did not have anything inform of an argument as we only had a fully built LogText object.
Now take a look at an example of unbound instance method reference:
The concept is not clear with a lambda, let’s look at the method reference approach:
Now this is exactly what we are telling the compiler:
Hey dude, see we don’t really have a ready object at this point, we will have it ready very soon. But in the meantime we want you to take note of a certain method called toString. When we eventually get around to creating this object, please remember to call the said method on this object and return to us whatever that call returns.
This is why we are using a Function. A functional interface whose functional method takes one argument and produces a result. We will have to pass the LogText object as an argument to the functional method.
The syntax Class::instanceMethod
is strange and this is where part of the confusion comes from. That syntax is common with static methods. It is like calling String.toString yet we all know it should be called on some string s, like s.toString.
Therefore, understanding this difference is key to correct and informed use of method references.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have explored one of the features of Java 8. Method references can make your code more compact and easier to read.
Just remember that whenever you are going use a lambda expression, first ask yourself if the lambda expression is evaluating a single known function. If so, it is high time to replace that with a method reference.
Finally, endeavor to clearly understand the difference between bounded and unbounded instance/non-static method references. I have tried to clear that in this tutorial as well.

IBM Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) is the recommended cluster manager for automating HADR failover. On Linux/Unix platforms, SA MP is integrated in DB2. "DB2 high availability instance configuration utility" (db2haicu) is the user interface to manage the integrated cluster manager. On Windows, SA MP is not Integrated in DB2 and db2haicu is not available. But you can still configure SA MP on Windows using scripts. See "HADR auto failover on Windows" section below.
DB2 Info Center provides complete reference to using the integrated cluster manager. In Info Center, navigate from the page "Configuring a clustered environment for high availability" (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/t0051353.htm), or just search for "db2haicu".

Enabling continuous access to read on standby databases using Virtual IP addresses
White paper, 12 pages, 2011, Authors: Steve Raspudic, Aruna De Silva, Louise McNicoll.
This paper describes how to set up two VIP addresses with HADR, one for read/write workload on primary database and one for read-only workload on the standby database. VIP is recommended for rerouting clients when reads on standby is enabled. Automatic client reroute should not be used when reads on standby is enabled.
Automated instance failover using the IBM DB2 High Availability Instance Configuration Utility (db2haicu)
White paper, 69 pages, 2009, Authors: Steve Raspudic, Selvaprabhu Arumuggharaj
Db2haicu can be used with or without HADR. This is about the shared disk solution for local HA (without HADR).
Note that starting from DB2 V10.1, HADR supports multiple standbys. You can use a local standby for HA and remote standby(s) for DR. In older releases, you can set up shared disk solution for local HA and use HADR for DR (standby at remote site).
On Windows, SA MP is not Integrated in DB2 and db2haicu is not available. But you can still configure SA MP on Windows using scripts. The following paper shows how to set up SA MP on Windows.
Automating DB2 HADR Failover on Windows using Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms
White paper, 50 pages, 2012, Authors: Steve Raspudic, Michelle Chiu.
Note: TSA MP on Windows has been dropped from TSA 4.1 level. Customers looking at automating HADR failover on Windows would likely need to select a different cluster manager product. See following article on using HADR on Windows with Microsoft Cluster Server.
Set up DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows for high ... - IBM
It is a common usage scenario with the following environment:
The following procedure will setup TSA in both data centers to handle automated failover. Details of db2haicu usage can be found in the Automated cluster controlled HADR configuration setup using the IBM DB2 high availability instance configuration utility (db2haicu) white paper.
Note that the above setup creates two disjoint TSA domains, one in Datacenter1 and the other in Datacenter2. After the above setup, the HADR system is now enabled with the following:
Procedure for performing maintenance (the key point is : there is nothing special, all the same as if there is no TSA):
If there is a need to perform graceful takeover from an auxiliary standby (say C in Datacenter2), use the following procedure. Note that step 1 and 3 are new.
In an event of disaster that takes out entire Datacenter1, procedure for manual failover to Datacenter2:

ngCloak
ng
The ngCloak
directive is used to prevent the Angular html template from being briefly
displayed by the browser in its raw (uncompiled) form while your application is loading. Use this
directive to avoid the undesirable flicker effect caused by the html template display.
The directive can be applied to the <body>
element, but the preferred usage is to apply
multiple ngCloak
directives to small portions of the page to permit progressive rendering
of the browser view.
ngCloak
works in cooperation with the following css rule embedded within angular.js
and
angular.min.js
.
For CSP mode please add angular-csp.css
to your html file (see ngCsp
).
[ng\:cloak], [ng-cloak], [data-ng-cloak], [x-ng-cloak], .ng-cloak, .x-ng-cloak { display: none !important; }
When this css rule is loaded by the browser, all html elements (including their children) that
are tagged with the ngCloak
directive are hidden. When Angular encounters this directive
during the compilation of the template it deletes the ngCloak
element attribute, making
the compiled element visible.
For the best result, the angular.js
script must be loaded in the head section of the html
document; alternatively, the css rule above must be included in the external stylesheet of the
application.
Legacy browsers, like IE7, do not provide attribute selector support (added in CSS 2.1) so they
cannot match the [ng\:cloak]
selector. To work around this limitation, you must add the css
class ng-cloak
in addition to the ngCloak
directive as shown in the example below.
<ANY ng-cloak> ... </ANY>as class
<ANY class="ng-cloak"> ... </ANY>

This example demonstrates the operation modes of Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC Ajax binding.
By default Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC will request data from the server every time the user changes the page, filters the grid, sorts or groups (server operation mode). When, client operation mode is enabled the grid will make only one request to the server and retrieve all data. After that all operations (paging, sorting, filtering and grouping) will be performed client-side. This would improve performance and will eliminate the need to hit the server for data.
To enable client operation mode you should use the OperationMode
method:
Html.Telerik().Grid(Model) .Name("Orders") .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding .Ajax() .OperationMode(GridOperationMode.Client) // <-- set the operation mode .Select("Select", "Home") ) .Pageable() .Sortable()

Apps can cause their own candidate-facing buttons to be displayed in various places within other apps. For example, you might display a "share" button on the job details page on the carer site. In this case your button might be displayed next to other buttons like "apply", "refer a friend", etc.
Displaying buttons involves a handful of APIs between your app and others (for example switchgear, which is an app provided by Aotal that gives tenants control over the order of buttons, and ways to control which buttons appear on which jobs).
The key APIs you'll produce and consume are:
There are similar APIs for the other places where candidate-facing buttons can be displayed (global, and search results).
Lets prepare by installing some sandbox apps.
Note: when installing apps, the apps that have links are sandbox apps that you install via their install token - the other apps can be found publicly listed (find them with "Browse apps").
Follow these instructions to install Developer ATS. The apply button will be showing and you can click on it to create a job application.
One of the apps you installed previously was Switchgear. Switchgear is an app that manages all of the buttons (apply, share, refer a friend, etc.) from all of the button-producing apps.
Typically a customer wants to show different combinations of those buttons to different candidates (e.g. internal vs external) on different jobs (e.g. IT jobs vs call centre jobs). This complexity is all handled via switchgear. Switchgear gives the customer a drag and drop user interface that they can use to drag button(s):
Now that we've got the sandbox apps installed, we're ready to get your app up and running.
Have your app produce the following API, to tell other apps (specifically switchgear) about its candidate facing buttons, e.g.:
GET /actions/byCandidate/job/possibles/byApp (produce as non-SoT)
Response:
The data that you are passing back in this example is as follows:
Install your app into your tenant.
Now that your possibles API is working, have your app produce two more APIs, one for logged in candidates and one for anonymous ones.
In your response, you pass back button details, like text, color, link, etc.
GET /actions/byCandidate/me/jobs/{job}/byName/{action}/byApp
GET /actions/byCandidate/anonymous/jobs/{job}/byName/{action}/byApp
Response:
The first form (/me/) is an on-behalf API.
Switchgear will call this API when it is displaying your button to a logged in person (i.e. the candidate).
As the producer of an on-behalf API, your app gets access to details about the logged-in person, such as their email address, name, and a unique identifier for them.
You might use that information to customize the details of your button. For example, if your button is an apply button, and the candidate already has a job application for this job, you might decide not to show your button at all, or to show it in a disabled state.
The second form (/anonymous/) is a normal API.
As the producer of this API, you don't know anything about the candidate who is looking at the job details page for this job, so you should assume they are a public job seeker.
Its up to you to decide whether to treat these two APIs differently in your app, or just return the same response for both.
In the response above:
Click into the Developer Careers app. You should see a job, with your buttons displayed on it.
Click on your button, and you should be redirected to your app's web experience (e.g. applying for a job, completing a quiz, sharing the job, etc.).
Once completed, your web experience should redirect the candidate correctly back to the relayPage (i.e. the job details page).
The button coordinating app (e.g. switchgear) will call your /possibles API to learn about your app's buttons at the time your app is installed. That will work fine, as long as your app doesn't change its set of buttons after its been installed.
However if your app does add new buttons (or remove or change existing ones) after install, then it should alert other interested apps of that by consuming:
POST /actions/byCandidate/job/possibles/byApp
Response:
This acts as a hint to switchgear (or any other app that cares) that it should call your /possibles API again, since your buttons may have changed.
As long as your button doesn't need any additional information, the drag and drop user interface provided by switchgear is all the customer needs.
However if your button requires some per-job or default setup then a setup page can be declared. The tenant will be prompted to complete setup when the add the button to a job or as a default for a group of jobs.
A setup page is a small HTML page that your app can present to the user right at the point when they drag and drop your button into the global or workflow areas or onto a specific job.
For example, lets say your app is an employee referral app. Employees can click your button on a job and then use your user interface to refer the job to their friends. They get a cash reward if they are hired.
In this example your app might present two separate setup pages:


segmentationRefinement.predict.Rd
A random forest implementation of the corrective learning wrapper introduced in Wang, et al., Neuroimage 2011 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21237273). The prediction process involves using the label-specific training models to refine an initial segmentation.

| segmentationImage | image to refine via corrective learning. |
|---|---|
| labelSet | a vector specifying the labels of interest. Must be specified. |
| labelModels | a list of models. Each element of the labelSet requires a model. |
| featureImages | a list of feature images. |
| featureImageNames | is a vector of character strings naming the set of features. Must be specified. |
| dilationRadius | specifies the dilation radius for determining the ROI for each label using binary morphology. Alternatively, the user can specify a float distance value, e.g., "dilationRadius = '2.75mm'", to employ an isotropic dilation based on physical distance. For the latter, the distance value followed by the character string 'mm' (for millimeters) is necessary. |
| neighborhoodRadius | specifies which voxel neighbors should be included in prediction. The user can specify a scalar or vector but it must match with what was used for training. |
| normalizeSamplesPerLabel | if TRUE, the samples from each ROI are normalized by the mean of the voxels in that ROI. Can be a vector (one element per feature). |

Roll the dough out on a floured board into a rectangle, fold it into thirds, turn 90 degrees and roll it out to a rectangle again. Repeat this folding, rolling and truning at least three more times then fold once more, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Roll the pastry out thinly and cut 36 rectangles, each 10cm x 5cm/4in x 2in. Place 12 onto each baking tray and cover with a sheet of greaseproof paper.
Place the empty baking tray onto one of the trays of pastry ad bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the empty tray and the top layer of paper, dust the pastry with icing sugar and cook for a further 10-12 minutes. Let the pastry cool on a wire rack.
Repeat step 5 with the other two trays of pastry rectangles.
For the coulis, pass the raspberries through a fine sieve, sweeten to taste with icing sugar and spoon into a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle.
For the icing, mix the icing sugar with a few drops of red food colouring and enough water to make a thick paste.
For the filling, spoon the whipped cream into in a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle.
To assemble the millefeuilles, pipe a little whipped cream onto a pastry rectangle, add a few blueberries and pipe over some raspberry coulis. Cover with another pastry rectangle, repeat the blueberry, cream an raspberry layer then add the top sheet of pastry. Dust with icing sugar and pipe on a strip of the pink icing. Mix together the chopped hazelnuts and orange zest, sprinkle over the icing and garnish with a raspberry and a mint leaf.


Assignment is to mill the board, stuff it with components and program it.
Fab ISP
The FabISP is an in-system programmer for AVR microcontrollers, designed for production within a FabLab.
That is, it allows us to program the microcontrollers on other boards we make, using nothing but a USB cable and 6-pin IDC to 6-pin IDC cable. It's based on the USBtiny and V-USB firmwares, which allow the ATtiny44 to perform USB communication in software. Programming can be done through avrdude.
The schematic (PDF) is super simple: USB connector, ATtiny44, and 6-pin ISP header, with assorted passive components. I started with the Eagle files for the USBtinyISP, although there's almost nothing left of it. Most of the parts for the FabISP are in the FabLab inventory. Exceptions include the Mini-B USB connector (SparkFun, Digi-Key), 12 MHz crystal (Digi-Key), and 18 pF capacitors for the crystal (Digi-Key).
PCB Fabrication
I choose Brian "FabTinyISP Minimal", a Bas Zaerc's ISP with few modifications tutorial. I choose this because i liked its shape, and in our group we decided to make 2 diferent FabISP's. After reading a while i come to some conclusions:
Less components needed
The LEDS facilitate usage
Easy way of removing the bridge/jumpers
Practical use in USB slot
I started by downloading the traces and the outline cutout.
I used Fabmodules HTML5 to get the clearance an cutting paths. Here are the steps i followed:
input format --> image (.png) --> select the png file
output format --> Rolland mill (.rml)
Process --> PCB Traces (1/64)
Then i changed a few parameters, as seen on the picture below, for better results. I changed the z home (mm): to 6mm for the jog in the end of the milling go up for a safe Z of 6mm, otherwise the PCB could get damaged.
